This rural district incorporates the Oatlands estate
and several associated historic properties. The site of Oatlands Mills,
a milling complex established by George Carter of Oatlands in the early
19th century, is at the southern end, along Goose Creek. The large mill
was destroyed in 1905, leaving today only a small ruin and extensive
archaeological remains. Surviving from the village of Oatlands nearby
are several houses and the Episcopal Church of Our Savior, a simple
brick structure erected in 1878. A later parish hall stands next to
it. At the northern end of the district, on Route

15, is the Mountain Gap School, the county's last operating one-room
school when it closed in 1953. Most of the property in the historic
district is protected by preservation easements or is owned by the National
Trust for Historic Preservation.

The Oatlands Historic District is located south of Leesburg off
Rte. 15. There are no organized tours of the district available at this
time.
